Front Lower Control Arm Bushes

How much are standard ones?

Should I even bother looking at standard when PHAT GT has quality bushes at $240?

How much would you expect to pay someone to install these?

[jdm rsk]

no standard ones are crap and if you are in sydney he could install them for you

Night and day difference in both quality and handling. OEM wear out really fast and good aftermarket ones (For Phat of course) change the handling of your car.

I can get standard ones for about $140. I've found that they last about 70,000km before needing replacing.

Currently I have Nolathane as the car yard I got my car from put them in. It cost me nothing so I didn't complain, but when they do bugger out I'm going to get some decent performance ones that (hopefully) last for years to come.

How does Phat's ones compare in ride quality vs stock? harsher on the road?

[Kekotic]

I didn't even notice the difference, some people say they feel more of the road through the steering wheel, but I never felt it.
I just felt the handling improvement

I've got the anti-lift whiteline ones installed on my car, a noticeable difference when first installed. Defiantly feel the road a bit more, and the handling is a lot sharper. Also got these for under $180 installed.

Looks like mine are gone now also. The rear bush atleast.
However, I was told by a reputable mechanic that the polyurethane bushes are no good as a replacement for LCA as they squeek like buggery.
Is this true? Are Whiteline polyurethane?

I've had them for a while, no noises..
